Chapter 1: ROSE'S POV
Rain trickled out of the sky, and streaks of purple tinted lightning flashed across the darkened blanket that was the sky. My eyes burned each time I blinked. Momentarily, rain stopped falling on my head and at first I was curious as to why.
"Can I take a name please love?" a strong male voice said from my right. I glanced at him with my emerald green eyes. In one hand he was holding a black umbrella and a pencil. In the other, he held a clipboard filled with names of people on the ship.
"Dawson," I answered attempting to keep my voice from wavering. "Rose Dawson." I looked up toward the sky, letting the rain hit my face and slip down my cheeks like tears.
"Thank you," He said turning and walking away. I looked up at the Statue of Liberty and thought of the man who had wanted so much to return home. I thought of all the people who had never gotten to see the magnificent statue. Tears pooled into my eyes, making them sting more than they already did, when I thought of the one man I wanted beside me more than anything. I attempted to push him from my mind, but quickly realized that was not an option. Every time I blinked, or closed my eyes, I saw him, his physique, his sun tanned golden brown skin. I saw the shimmering pool that was his aquamarine eyes, I. I saw his slightly crooked smile and his corn silk colored hair. I saw his hands, his amazing hands. My chest cavity ached as though my own beating heart had been ripped out. I wrapped my arms around my waist as if it was the only thing I could do to hold myself together. It felt as though I had been torn in two.
"Rose?" I heard the familiar voice come from behind me. I turned around to stare into the brown eyes of the man I hated the most in the world. "I'm assuming that because that gutter rat isn't with you, he didn't make it out alive. Would I be correct in that assumption."
"Cal." My voice choked in my throat I felt like I couldn't breathe, and my words refused to release my tongue from their grasp. I nearly cried out; how had he managed himself into a lifeboat when Jack had not? Why is he alive, when jack was not!? Why did he have to be here now!?
So what do you guys think of this short itty bitty chapter!? READ AND REVIEW!
